Arbitrary Traditions and Alien Observations (ROSIE GIBBENS)

Guest artist ROSIE GIBBENS joins VANESSA MURRELL of DATEAGLE to discuss her art practice via 'Life Ceremony' by Sayaka Murata, 2022 published by Granta Books. This off-kilter collection of short stories brings a grotesque whimsy to fables of cultural norms, including society rituals that develop when the human species is endangered .    ROSIE and VANESSA's discussion encompasses ritual, nothingness, meatarianism, shit and vomit . As well as ribcage tables, mocking Freud, recycling flesh, consuming oneself, anatomical Venus's, muscle suits, pointless products, human hair jumpers, an alien point of view, dried stomach lampshades, humans resembling cockroaches, eating Spongebob figurines, and to borrow Rosie's words, it's all kinda dark and kinda beautiful .    ROSIE GIBBENS rosiegibbens.com @rosiegibbens   ARTISTS + CURATORS  Becca Pall-Fry Helen Chadwick Marcel Joseph Mike Stubbs   BOOKS + WRITERS Albert Camus Aldous Huxley 'Brave New World' 1932 Angela Carter Barbara Creed 'The Monstrous Feminine' 1993 Julia Kristeva Megan Milks 'Slug and Other Stories' 2021 Perfume Steven King 'Carrie' 1974   FILM 'Alien' 1979 'Evil Dead II' 1987 'Ex Machina' 2015 'Hellraiser' franchise 'RAW' 2017 'The Human Centipede' 2009, 2011, 2015   GALLERIES + EXHIBITIONS GIANT 'Body Poetics' 2023 Museum of the Home Pictorum Gallery The Bomb Factory
